Looking back over the years that marked the aloft rise of Pranjal Group, it’s a potpourri of emotions for me. While privileged both as the witness and the facilitator of its growth story, I refuse to plead guilty to the charge of shaping the destiny of the Group, imposed by my kind colleagues and peers, while humbly agreeing to be part of founding team to establish the Group. In my defence I immediately draw attention to Pranjal’s frontliners, Sampat Raj, Varmaji, Murthyji, Abhishek, Ankur, Vikrant and not the least the young Pranjal. It is the collective vision, commitment, dynamism & dedication of these frontliners and above all synergistic bonding and team effort, that guided the growth trajectory of Group Pranjal.
Stemming with taxation and audit services in the early-eighties, Pranjal’s portfolio kept burgeoning with sustained addition of a broad gamut of financial & consultancy services and before long, Corporate Advisory, Investments & Debt Syndication became our flagship product. Concomitantly, new group companies were constituted and relevant business verticals created to reflect the expansion, evolution and diversification that became the staple of Pranjal’s exponential growth, as also to deepen the professionalism of our services. It was only a matter of time before Pranjal would build itself into a leading brand in the financial sector.
As the senior most member of the outfit, I am expected to bear the responsibility of creating and reinforcing good organizational culture. I always proceeded with the conviction that there is no dichotomy between making business more productive and at the same time more human. I am inclined to believe that the fierce loyalty which Pranjal Group commands from clients and staff alike is anchored in this conviction. I never tire of stressing the value people bring to an organization. In our people-centric Group ethos, we allow the power of an idea to make an impact. An idea floated by Top Management is fleshed out by the frontline operatives into a new service or an innovative strategy.
And even as they steered business to new record levels, scripting a robust growth narrative, they also felt free to go off-script, buck convention, infuse passion and introduce innovation. With sharpened antennae for market signals, and ever in tune with the trends and times, they were in readiness for new business opportunity with the enactment of IBC 2016, having since carved out a market niche, secured big-ticket business, and closed high-value deals. It has always been my endeavour to make Pranjal Group future-fit and millennium-ready.
As I sign off, not without extending grateful thanks to my valued clients for their continued loyalty, and acknowledging my worthy staff whose allegiance and commitment are the sheer anchor of the Group’s credo, I am sanguine together we all will roll out a future for the Pranjal Group that is in sync with its glorious past, coming up with products and services that could be bench-marked as the best in business.
